The Obidient Movement has hailed Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), as a leader who matches his words with action. National Coordinator Yunusa Tanko shared this view during a Sunday interview on Arise Television, pointing to Obi’s tenure as Anambra State governor as proof of his commitment.
“Peter Obi distinguishes himself by not just making pledges but fulfilling them, and he encourages Nigerians to hold him responsible,” Tanko stated. He was responding to Obi’s selection as the NDC flagbearer for the upcoming general elections.
According to Daily Post, the NDC officially named Obi its presidential candidate for the 2027 elections on Saturday. Tanko highlighted that Obi’s promise to serve only a single term was openly stated at the party level and recorded during the party’s affirmation process, which also included a zoning resolution after his term ends.
“For his supporters, this demonstrates that Obi’s promises align with his intentions, reinforcing his message of accountability and trustworthy leadership,” Tanko added. Following his confirmation, Obi announced former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso as his running mate.
